HISTORY OF NANITAL

The founder of this dynasty, was Som Chand Whi came from Jhusi near Allahabad, who in about the seventh century, married the daughter a Katyuri king, then moved  into the interiors of Kumaon. As dowry, he was given Champawat town as well as the land of Bhabar and Terai. Establishing their capital at champawat, Som Chand and his descendants gradually started attacking and then occupying the surrounding areas.

Thus champawat was the nucleus from which Chand dominion over the whole of Kumaon extended, but this took many centuries to complete,  and Nainital and its near area was one of the last areas to be engaged Bhimtal, which is only thirteen miles from Nainital in the thirteenth century Triloki Chand built a fort to protect its borders But at that time, Nainital itself was  not under the Chand rule, and was adjacent to the western border of the state. During the reign of Raja Udyan Chand in 1420, the western boundary of the Chand kingdom extended to the Koshi and Suyal rivers, but Ramgarh and Kota were still under the former Khasia rule.

Kirat Chand, who ruled from 1488 to 1503, and expanded his territory, was finally able to establish authority over Nainital and the surrounding area which was so much free for long time. The Khasia King made an attempt to regain their independence in 1560, under the leadership of a Khasia of Ramgarh, he enjoyed a brief moment of success, but was subdued with ruthlessness by Balo Kalyan Chand Little or no effort was made on the administration of the hill region during this period all the palaces of Kumaon mentioned in the Ain- Akbari are located in the plains during the reign of Devi Chand, who became king in1720, Kumaon was invaded by the Raja of Garhwal, but he did not capture the area.

Twenty years later, the Kumaon Hills were again attacked, this time by Ruhails, with whom the war broke out in the year 1743. Ruhela entered Bhimtal while fighting, and looted it. However, they were eventually purchased by the Raja of Garhwal, who forged a temporary alliance with Kalyan Chand, then Raja of Kumaon Another invasion, two years later, was repelled by Shiv Dev Joshi, the prime minister of Kalyan Chand.
